Pregnancy & Celexa - not a good mix

: My husband and I are also planning to have another little one soon and I am currently on Celexa. I spoke to my psychiatrist and she says that I would need to come off this medication while pregnant and nursing. I started taking this medication right after our son was born and it has really helped me too.
Evidently this medication was prescribed quite a bit over in Europe long before it was approved for use in the USA; so perhaps research from there (England I believe) may prove more useful regarding its continued use during preganacy. I have yet to do the research.
Just some info that may prove useful to you. Good luck with your research. Please post any info you find - I'd be interested to see it, thanks.
